This Gold Star Angel Ornament is 100% pure sweetness!!! I have a group of twenty women that I get together with once a month. For the month of December we have a Christmas party that includes an ornament exchange. I think this angel is going as my contribution this year! I've been looking for something to create to soothe my holiday stress and this will fit the bill. Thanks sooooo much for the inspiration!!!

Cute little project that kids would love to make! I have seen these little wooden shapes at buck and hobby stores and they are pretty reasonably priced! You can have these adorable little angels painted with different hair and skin tones and even add some tinsel sparkle garland to the halo and stars for some extra bling and sparkle! Great creative idea!

I have been wanting to make this since I found it last fall. Where can I buy the woodsie without having to buy a package with a bunch of different shapes and sizes that I don't need or want for that matter? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also maybe it would be easier if the dimensions of the woodsies were included instead of small/ large/x-large.
